World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

There are basically three reasons they would withdraw the CSG:
Given the US were running 24/7 surveillance flights over Gaza, 2 is highly unlikely and there would be other signals like the State department sending that signal.
Option 1 is similarly unlikely given the regional escalations.
Which leaves option 3. Which makes tons of sense and shows military doctrines that are similar - Israel is rotating 5 brigades of reserve troops out of Gaza.
My prediction is that Hezbollah will take a day or two with far fewer rocket launches on Israeli civilians, and then around Jan 3 or 4 they will launch a much larger salvo to test the US response. Hamas already jumped on this, launching 20-some rockets. I haven't seen an explicit Houthi response yet, but the Eisenhower is closer to them than the Ford so I don't think they'll pay close attention to this beyond some saber rattling.
They've been on deployment since May. It's answered in your own post.
The article didn't mention that they had been deployed since May, and I had thought they were deployed directly from Norfolk in October. That makes a ton more sense.
Yeah your article doesn't specify when they deployed but it does say that it's returning on schedule.
So we should expect a replacement deployment?
Yes. Usually the carrier begins movement back as another begins movement in. The outgoing carrier will maintain the ability to reach 5th fleet AOR via fighter jet range until the oncoming carrier can do the same. Then the outgoing carrier officially packs up and leaves.
Yep. All these news articles just don't point that out in a super obvious way. CSG rotation is completely normal and it has been that way since I was in the Navy. It's fairly traditional for the carriers to meet up one or twice as well.
Not saying it's likely, but within possible reason.
There was a rumor that Genocide Joe gave Netanyahu until the end of the year to wrap it up before election season because he started to tank too hard in the voting. Looks like there's turning out to be some truth to it. The IDF now stated they are retreating many troops from Gaza under the guise of "training".
Netanyahu intensified his bombing the last few weeks to make sure Gaza was destroyed as much as possible before retreating.
At this point the US is probably hoping that israel can just walk back and pretend like it's "all good" after just killing 9000 children, but I'm not sure the Iranians were very happy with israel just assassinating their general in Syria. Netanyahu picking as many fights as possible to stay in power might just create israels downfall.
